In defence of US

23 Jan, 2010

There are reports that the US army is training a crack unit to seal off and snatch back Pakistan's nuclear weapons in the event that militants, possibly from inside the country's security apparatus, get their hands on a nuclear device or materials that could make one. The specialised unit would be charged with recovering the nuclear materials and securing them. Well done.
But the question is why should America do this? If this is their objective, why Americans are wasting time and money, why investing on so many projects, so many engagements, diplomatic, political and military? It could do it with its military might, WMD and blocking all roads and means, sanctions and money. The American CIA, policy-makers and think tanks have launched world-wide propaganda campaigns to build their image and assert their authority.
But one has to see whether some other countries are thinking otherwise to be friend of America and act covertly against its interests? They are successful in creating the impression that America is actually the real enemy of Pakistan, not India. Are the Americans so stupid? Don't they see their image is the biggest casualty in this part of the world?
Or are the Americans now not bothered about their image, interests, stakes or safeguards in the region? Can't they understand the other nations, like India which is going to hijack the Americans' strategic depth in the name of friendship? How come the anti-America propaganda by the anti-American lobbies has so successfully worked? It means there is something wrong within America, White House, Capitol Hill and Pentagon.
The Hindu and Jewish lobbies are not letting Americans see beyond its power of assertion through fear of bombs, WMD and war. They use the fear of American military might to serve their own vested interests, and want America the ultimate loser in the end. The propaganda by Western, Zionist and Hindu media against Pakistan's nuclear weapons is also part of this campaign.
Why not work on helping out Pakistan to become and stabilised responsible state, which it is itself fighting for and paying the highest price while fighting war against terrorism? Why not accept Pakistan's right to protect and have its essential liberty as a sovereign nation? May I quote Alexander Hamilton, First Finance & Commerce Secretary in Washington's cabinet, who said: "Safety from external danger is 'the most powerful director of national conduct'; even liberty must, if necessary, give way to the dictates of security because to be more safe, men are willing 'to run the risk of being less free'."
